Juvenile

Homicide charges were dropped Tuesday by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office against a teenage boy who had been accused of fatally stabbing a 14-year-old boy in the city’s Mission District last September.

San Francisco Police have arrested a juvenile in connection with a string of attacks on bicyclists in Golden Gate Park’s Panhandle during September and October. However, police are still eyeing other possible suspects.

Community leaders in Santa Clara County have kicked off a two-day public forum on what they call a disproportionately high number of kids from an ethnic-minority background in the child welfare and juvenile justice system.
